I too have the steady red light on the wireless network adapter and the "disconnected" on status. Tried the two front USB ports, same thing. Even plugged the adapter into my PC USB port and still had the steady red light.

Check the status light on your adapter
The state of the adapter's status light indicator can tell you the
status of the Xbox 360 Wireless G Networking Adapter. Here's what the
different lights mean:

Steady green light: The adapter is connected to a wireless router, gateway, or access point. The adapter is ready to use.

How to configure wireless settings on your Xbox 360 console

Flashing red light: There is a problem. The adapter might be experiencing a hardware failure. Contact Xbox support.

Not illuminated:
The adapter is not receiving power. Unplug the USB connector and plug
it in again. Still no light? Try plugging the adapter into a USB port on
the front of the console.

On the console, go to My Xbox, and then select System Settings.

Select Network Settings.

Select Configure Network.

On the Basic Settings tab, select Wireless Mode.

Note If
wireless mode is not available and you are using the black Wireless N
Networking Adapter, try using the software installation disc included
with the adapter. For more information about how to do this, please see

How to set up the Xbox 360 Wireless N Networking Adapter

Select Scan for Networks.

Select your wireless network name.

If your network is not listed, try the following:

Select Specify Unlisted Network, and enter your wireless network name (also referred to as your Service Set Identifier [SSID]).

Note Make
sure that you have entered the correct password. An incorrect password
might allow your console to connect to your wireless network, but you
might receive an IP address error when you test your Xbox LIVE
connection.

Press B on your controller, and then select Test Xbox LIVE Connection.

If you successfully connect to Xbox LIVE, you'll see this screen:

A red steady light on the adapter means it is ready to be connected to a wireless network. If it fails to connect then the WPA key is not correct.

WPA automatically changes keys on a frequent basis for security purposes. So you need to take note of the SSID (wireless network name) and the Wireless security settings (WPA and passphrase) from the wireless access point/router.

Once you have the wireless network settings on the access-point/router, go to the System area to enter those settings.

If all settings are correct, exit the System area. Your console should now be connected to your wireless network.
